What it does

This is a written expert guide that teaches an AI agent best practices for Elasticsearch, a search and analytics engine. Once installed, the agent can give advice on designing index mappings, writing bool and match queries, building aggregations, setting up index lifecycle and snapshot policies, and diagnosing unassigned shards or yellow cluster health. The file contains guidance only; it does not connect the agent to any Elasticsearch cluster by itself.

Great for

  • Developers building search features or autocomplete on Elasticsearch
  • Data or log engineers designing time-series indices and retention policies
  • Operators troubleshooting cluster health, shard allocation, or snapshot setup

Skip it if

  • Running live changes on a production cluster without review, since the skill only supplies guidance and the agent may propose commands that delete or reindex data
  • Non-Elasticsearch search stacks such as Solr, OpenSearch-specific features, or Postgres full-text search, where the advice may not transfer directly

Try asking

  • “Design a mapping for my product catalog that supports full-text search and exact-match filters”
  • “Write a bool query that filters by date range and ranks by relevance with should clauses”
  • “Set up an ILM policy that rolls over logs daily and deletes them after 30 days”
  • “Why are some of my shards unassigned, and how do I diagnose it?”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Paste your current mapping and a sample document so the agent can review field types against your queries
  • State your Elasticsearch version, since API details and features change between releases
  • Review any reindex, delete, or replica change commands the agent suggests before running them against production
